Bayard thinks this may be the last time he travels on the road between Oxford and Jefferson, not because he might die but because he perhaps "could never again hold up his head" (217); Ringo suggests possibly "bushwhacking" Colonel Sartoris' murderer, but retorts, "I reckon that wouldn't suit that white skin you walks around in" (218).
